I had a thought today. (Fair warning, this gets a little woo woo toward the end....so get ready 💫)

I often hear parents say things like:

🥦My child will NOT eat vegetables.☕️I could never get my daughter to drink tea.🧘🏻‍♀️Sitting still for any length of time just isn’t possible for my son.

All of these are beliefs that we as parents have, on some level, accepted as truth.

My thought today was this: What if we could DECIDE to make something else true?

In asking this question, I already know the answer because I’ve seen it unfold countless times. I’ve seen parents DECIDE to shift what is true for their families over and over again.

I’ve seen a child go from complete unwillingness to be touched for a treatment; to walking in, taking their shoes and socks off, and offering me their feet for acupressure. I’ve seen a child go from daily hyper-energy; to mom telling me “I can’t remember the last time he was hyper.” I’ve had moms come in and tell me their picky eater gets excited when it’s time to take their herbs.

So how does it happen? It starts by asking some questions. First of all, what have you decided is true about your children? (P.s. this same technique can be applied to relationships, business, personal growth, and essentially anything else).

So... what have you decided is true, whether consciously or unconsciously, for your family??

Once you have your answer, you begin to DECIDE to make something else be true. Ask yourself...what feels better? What feels more aligned with the goals I have for my family? What feels like an expression of our fullest potential?? What feels like a stepping stone on our path to health and wellness?

Then, play around with the limiting beliefs and resistance that are holding you in alignment with the OLD thought pattern.

And finally...ENVISION the NEW belief as if it were already true. What would it look and feel like? What would it mean for your child/family/you? Get clear and comfortable there, in that new reality you have just created

We need to give these students the time they need to be with their loved ones and make it a quality time instead of doing their assignments. Please always remember that students also have their personal lives that they need to live, and studying should not be a huge hindrance for it.

As a Pediatric Chinese Medicine practitioner, I partner with parents on a healing mission to find the root cause of their child's illness/imbalance; and restore that balance through acupuncture, herbs, nutrition therapy, and lifestyle shifts.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"One of the most amazing things I have seen while working with Caitria is her ability to address health issues and the body with a wholistic approach. Awhile back, after a long day of flying, our son came down with 104 degree fever. I reached for all my natural ways to bring the fever down and then contacted Caitria. She was able to assist me greatly with directing me to which acupressure points would bring his fever down. Within 15 minutes of completing the acupressure protocol, his fever was down TWO DEGREES! Not .2 degrees, two whole degrees! Oh wow, was I relieved!"​-Heather H.

"My whole life I have struggled with muscle tightness all over my body along with anxiety, trouble sleeping, and severe migraines. Since I became pregnant, my body has become more uncomfortable and I was tired of feeling worse every day. I've connected with Caitria before for intuitive work, so I contacted her about how my body was feeling and she recommended acupuncture. Since my first appointment, I sleep better than I ever have, my body feels more energized and comfortable, and I haven't had any migraines. I plan on continuing with acupuncture treatment with Caitria throughout my pregnancy and post pregnancy to keep improving my body's health." -Sam D.

​"Caitria has helped me get rid of my migraines, as well as figure out what was causing them so that I could make changes to prevent them in the future. Working with her has definitely improved my quality of life, and I have learned a lot!" -Kayde T.

"As a distance runner, I've experienced a number of setbacks over the past few years (tendonitis, bulging discs, joint pain, Achilles issues). Where traditional physical therapy and pain relievers have provided temporary aid, the only lasting relief I've experienced has been through my work with Caitria. Her counseling and acupuncture techniques have proven invaluable to not only my performance in sport but, more importantly, overall quality of life." -Travis G.
